Talking Loudly in Public Places: Corporate Espionage

I'm traveling today and am totally amazed on the different conversations going on as I wait for my next flight.   Right now I'm getting an unintended update from a real estate developer on the health and progress on three major projects, two here in the US and one in Italy.

I make it a habit never to do any business while traveling.   When I worked at PC Week I used to get lots of scoops just by traveling from Logan.   But if you must, go to a corner where no one is around, and use your inside voice.   With a good headset, you can talk very quietly and be understood.

Or else run the risk of finding your trade secrets in the trade press.
